@Spartan_418: Possibly, but I wouldn't put it past MS to have it run a special version of Win 11 - or not at all. GamePass for instance can stream games to a Surface Tablet, so it's possible an MS han...

@brimmul777: yes, the fabled "kennan" project. Supposedly it will be running Windows 11 with a focus on Gamepass.But really, it will be competing with Steamdeck, just without Steamdeck's library. I ca...

@brimmul777: MS will most likely be exiting the hardware game soon. I wouldn't expect much out of them in that way. Everything they've done indicates a shift to software focus only.

@mrbojangles25: "Make a launcher that offers what Steam offers, and then I will use."Which begs the question... why does one need a second launcher to duplicate a launcher that already exists???

No longer available. The email Gamespot sent was 24 hours after the offer started. Thus, the offer is void.

@xnshd: I'm old enough to remember all the hardware Sega was pushing. 32x, Sega CD, etc. The 32x was especially poor, because as soon as it arrived in North America, Saturn was announced in Japan.

@xnshd: It may indeed be a positive for both MS and gamers.Sega did the same; and it saved their company (not claiming MS is in any danger). Today, there's quite a few Sega titles I enjoy.I think MS c...

"Nintendo consoles are historically less powerful than the latest PlayStation and Xbox consoles"I wouldn't call Switch a Console. It's primarily a handheld that can dock to a TV. It sure beats those h...

@batman90: Switch 2 has a (rumored) massive processor increase as well as 16 GB RAM. The Switch 1 sits at just 4 GB with a vastly older processor.Like Switch or not, the second outing is a clear upgra...

@Vodoo: $279 is decent. It was $249 for a sale back in summer, so I'd expect Black Friday around there.Also look for WD SN850 Plus in 4TB.Both are similar specs/price and very nice drives.

@sippio: "No you can't get a steam deck(nor should you) at $300."https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-deck-drops-to-296-for-limited-time-right-after-ps5-pro-reveal/1100-6526472/Ooops on you!

@rabidgiantsr: We'll see. Nintendo has traditionally held quite close to it's initial price point, even with a next generation coming out soon or announced.But I do agree - $400 is more likely, but I'...

@nevrfearjbhere: Similar happened with PS4 Pro and PS5 around the corner. But nobody would have thought the massive scarcity of launch PS5. That's why PS4 Pro didn't catch much flak.All I know is if P...

@zeemansingapore: Microsoft did the same with Gamepass.

I tried My Time in Portia, didn't care for it.

@dmblum1799: When Sony launched the original Playstation, it had a 33 mHz processor and just 2 MB of RAM. It was far behind even basic PC specs at the time.For those that need a hint: consoles don't ...

@rayray696: You can get a 4TB nvme drive for $200 now. Super fast ones are $300.

@JagedNS: Get PS5 or PS5 Pro, depending on your budget and time frame. I recommend getting a disc version. Never go full disc-less. A disc version gives you all the advantages of physical, and zero dr...
